Alan Jouban decided to share footage from near the Getty Museum with his fight fans.
“It’s crazy to see parts of LA burning like this! This is a repost from last night just near the Getty museum. Just passed this area this morning and “most” of this fire is out, but you could still see houses burning down on top the hill. Very sad to think of completely losing your home. Stay safe!”
Jessica “Evil” Eye decided to offer her prayers to those dealing with the fires.
“Prayers for Cali !!”
